Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 98

You have a server named Server1. Server1 contains a drive named D hat has Data Deduplication enabled.
You delete 1 TB of files from drive D.
You need to ensure that you can use all the disk space that was used by the deleted files as soon as possible.
What should you run?

Answer options

• A. the BackgroundOptimization task from the Task Scheduler
• B. the WeeklyScrubbing task from the Task Scheduler parameter
• D. the Set-DedupVolume cmdlet parameter

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as running the Start-DedupJob cmdlet with the GarbageCollection parameter allows the system to reclaim the space from deleted files effectively. Options A and B are not focused on reclaiming space immediately, and D does not execute the necessary garbage collection to free up space from the deduplicated data.
